This paper describes the design of 3-Ø ac Induction motor drive with and without V/f
control in open loop. It is based on Texas Instruments’ TMS320C240 processor which
is dedicated for Power electronic applications. Digital signal Processor is establishing
cost effective and energy efficient control system design. The performance of DSP
architecture allows an intelligent approach to reduce the complete system costs of
digital motion control applications using cheaper electric motors, few sensors and
small sizes of EMI filters. This DSP controller delivers the real time MIPS and the
tightly integrated peripherals to implement optimal control algorithm with no cost
penalty. The part is targeted towards the applications in both industrial and home
applications such as washing machines, compressors, air-conditioning units, pumps or
simple industrial drives. The software design takes the advantages of Software
Development Kit developed by T.I. It adapts the principle of sinusoidal pulse width
modulation technique for the generation of PWM signals to the Inverter module. This
document includes basic Motor theory, system design concept, Hardware
implementation and software design.
